The Community of Bn is a gargantuan, orderly nation, notable for its rum-swilling pirates, ubiquitous missile silos, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 14.7 billion Bnians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. The average income tax rate is 76.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Bnian economy, worth a remarkable 2,026 trillion Golds a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Soda Sales, and Uranium Mining. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 137,839 Golds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.7 times as much as the poorest.

School lunches are made with hypo-allergenic wood pulp, the government insists that a ghost voted ten million times in the last election, society and government have been organized according to a feudal hierarchy, and drug deals return to the streets as legions of undercover officers stalk the dark web. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Bn's national animal is the Elephant, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Bn is ranked 275,833rd in the world and 10,359th in Balder for Most Beautiful Environments, with 7.68 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
